PPAF Gone Haywire - PPAF2 Five Days Later???

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Just had my first PPAF from Oct. 11-17 (started medium, got very heavy for a few days, ended with spotting - so, pretty normal for pre-preggo me).

 

That was fine...only yesterday I started bleeding all over again! angry.gif  Medium & red or brown.  What gives??!!

 

I did have supply dip issues (and a fussy toddler!) from PPAF, so I started drinking a little fenugreek tea.  After PPAF ended, I'd still been drinking 1-2 cups per day, skipped a day, then drank 2 cups yesterday hours before bleeding - does it seem like that could have caused it?

 

I'm also on the mini pill (which I know is notoriously weird) and nursing (obviously).  Could those cause this?

 

Just irritated and curious...anybody else deal with this?

Anybody?  

 

The bleeding seems to be slowing down (light to spotting) - it was nearly gone, then DTD last night and that seemed to bring it back a bit.  Haven't been drinking any fenugreek since it started (much to lil dude's dismay), but not sure if that matters.  Think I may just call the OB tomorrow to be safe...

I did not have this specific experience, but AF PP for me has just been wacky in general. Before babies I was extremely regimented and knew exactly what to expect. Now it can vary month to month in duration, amount, and even color and consistency.

Thanks, Starfish!  I have heard PPAF can be weird, especially with nursing, etc. - it makes me feel better to know this could be totally normal (this is my first and only babe).
